Carlsberg Vietnam donates $44,000 to support Typhoon Yagi recovery efforts

The donation was handed over to Thai Nguyen and Lao Cai provinces, which were the hardest hit by the recent disaster.

Typhoon Yagi, one of the most intense storms to reach Vietnam in the past 30 years, caused widespread damage across the north of the country. The storm and its aftermath have resulted in significant loss of life, extensive property damage, and severe disruption to local infrastructure. According to the Department of Dyke Management and Natural Disaster Prevention and Control, the storm had caused 330 deaths or missing persons, 1,921 injuries, and devastated tens of thousands of homes, with numbers still rising.

In response, Carlsberg Vietnam, together with its employees, has stepped up to provide critical support, donating more than VND1 billion ($40,625) to the two hardest-hit provinces. This donation embodies Carlsberg Group’s purpose of “Brewing for a better today and tomorrow”, reflecting Carlsberg Vietnam's commitment to social responsibility and community support during challenging times.

In the spirit of solidarity and mutual support, Carlsberg Vietnam initiated a call for donations among its employees.

These funds have been directly transferred to the Vietnam Fatherland Front committees in Thai Nguyen and Lao Cai. They will be used to repair damaged homes, support families facing severe losses or injuries, and provide essential aid to help residents rebuild their lives.

Andrew Khan, managing director of Carlsberg Vietnam, said, “At Carlsberg, our purpose of ‘Brewing for a better today and tomorrow’ goes beyond our products; it defines our commitment to the communities we serve. With over 30 years of operations in Vietnam, we understand our role and responsibility towards the community and are committed to offering our support during challenging times.”

“In the face of adversity, our mission compels us to stand together, offering support and hope. Through this donation, we aim to ease the burden faced by those affected by Typhoon Yagi and the floods. Our hearts go out to every family impacted, and we hope that this gesture will bring some relief and help rebuild lives. Together, we can overcome these hardships and move forward with renewed strength and unity,” he added.
